This book store is the oldest bookstore in San Francisco yet it was very modern and had a great vibe to the store. It had many types of books with different subjects and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I very much recommend this book store - book stores in general is a dying breed and we must support our local book store.!

I adore this bookstore. It is cozy, convenient (why yes, I will stop and buy a book before I pick up groceries!) And has an excellent selection. The staff are warm, knowledgeable and helpful. I love visiting this store- and do about once a week!

Wonderful neighborhood bookstore with lots of popular and seasonal children's books, and many high quality toys. Also large selection of staff curated and best selling adult fiction/non-fiction. Lots of parking in front and back.

Books inc is one of my favorite book stores I’ve ever been too! (And trust me, I’ve been to a lot). The store has a wide variety of books for all ages. There are also different kind of books such as comic books, chapter books, etc. Not only are there different books, there are also toys, notebooks, stationary, and lots of other things. The whole place gives off a cozy vibe and makes you feel at home. One of my favorite parts about this book store is that there are book clubs, events where you can meet authors, and much more! The store is located in Laurel Village so after I go shopping for my books, I can easily get a snack. If you are looking for a nice book store, come visit this place!

This was the first bookstore I visited on our trip to the city and they set the bar high! The staff was so friendly and they remembered us when we returned the next day for a book I had regretted leaving on the shelf. The selection was really great and the location was wonderful too. Id visit here again if I was ever in the area.

OMG!I was on my way to church. I went in the store on a whim.I just wanted to look around. They have the greatest selection of books. I spent 90.15 dollars.I was looking for books for my classroom. I am a paraeducator at Tule Park. I stayed so long I was late getting to church. I will go back on a Saturday.I also asked for cards to pass out to my classmates. I will go back.

This is my favorite books Inc., they are very knowledgeable and they have a huge youth, literature, and children’s section. They also have very nice gifts and they make it very easy to order books with a very short turnaround time. I joined their book club, and with the loyalty points I saved up I got a $100 credit!

I found so many treasures here for my Christmas gift shopping. The staff went above and beyond to help with our school fundraiser and helping me with bringing my purchases to the car. The book selection here is great for adults and kids and there are so many other unique , cool items like games, puzzles, and toys. I went in November and they had a special book display for National Native American Heritage Month. I highly recommend shopping here!
